Speaker 1: Unpacking the toolboxes of production of Shondo Land Audio. In
Speaker 1: partnership with I Heart Radio, Katie, the SNL did a
Speaker 1: parody of Olivia Pope. Cecily Strong played Quinn and who
Speaker 1: played Hawk. I don't I don't remember this. He's one
Speaker 1: of he's a great actor. I can't remember his name,
Speaker 1: but he was so good it was unfucking believable, Like
Speaker 1: I was losing my mind. That's the first time we
Speaker 1: were like, oh, We're like like this is crazy, Like
Speaker 1: we're on SNL. No, this is nit. Guys, like this
Speaker 1: is like a cultural phenomenon. If you get parodied on SNL,
Speaker 1: you've made it, folks, you have made it or your
Speaker 1: or your life is over because you're like, you know, weener,
Speaker 1: the guy that showed his weener to the world or whatever,
Speaker 1: the political guy. We literally did an episode of scandal
Speaker 1: on the weener thing like sending Dick pis. We had
Speaker 1: like a guy that had to get fixed for sending,
Speaker 1: tweeting and sending out too many tests. Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: there's so much to talk. I'm honestly giddy, like I
Speaker 1: feel I love it very I love you very much.
Speaker 1: I love you too, Katie. Okay, Garo Diaz and I
Speaker 1: are just going through paperwork right now because you have,
Speaker 1: like a I have a fucking book. I wrote down
Speaker 1: your book. Okay, we're so fucking pumped, to be completely honest.
Speaker 1: So guys, here we have episode one O two. It's
Speaker 1: titled Dirty Little Secrets. We all have some of those,
Speaker 1: don't we have. It first aired on April twelve, two twelve.
Speaker 1: That's a long ass time ago. It was written by
Speaker 1: the AUSO Heather Mitchell, and directed by Rocks and Dawson.
Speaker 1: Remember Rocks, and she was one of my first obviously
Speaker 1: one of the first directors. Yes, and I think she
Speaker 1: was our producing director of that season, but we'll get
Speaker 1: into that later. She was, yeah, yeah, And this episode
Speaker 1: is guest starring Mimi Kennedy as Sharon Marquette, John gets
Speaker 1: Patrick Keating, and Megan Gallagher is Stacy Keating. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take you through the synopsis of the episode of Scandal
Speaker 1: pace because we need to get into this episode and
Speaker 1: we cannot be bothered with all these logistics. But I
Speaker 1: just want to say it really quickly in Scandal past speed,
Speaker 1: so that you know what the hell was going on
Speaker 1: in the episode. So the synopsis is Olivia must protect
Speaker 1: a new client who's under investigation by the U. S
Speaker 1: Attorney's Office. Quinn runs into trouble with the Mandatanna when
Speaker 1: a charming reporter, Gideon Wallace approaches Quinn of the hospital
Speaker 1: trying to get information. Meanwhile, at the White House, President
Speaker 1: Grant is just nominated his first Supreme Court justice, a
Speaker 1: man who has cross pads with Olivia's most recent client.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Katie, that was way too fast. I
Speaker 1: feel like I feel like it might be a little
Speaker 1: too fast for the listeners. Like I get it, you know,
Speaker 1: we're so used to as scandal place. But I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do it. I'm gonna try to just, you know, slow
Speaker 1: it up a little bit for for the listeners. Okay,
Speaker 1: let me let me let me hear you. Olivia must
Speaker 1: protect a new client and your investigation by the US
Speaker 1: Attorneys Office. Quinn was as a trouble with a Mandy
Speaker 1: Tanner with the charming report Gideon Wallace approaches Quinn at
Speaker 1: the hospital trying to get information. Meanwhile, at the White House,
Speaker 1: President Grant has just dominated his first Supreme Court justice,
Speaker 1: a man who has cross passed with Olivia's most recent client.
Speaker 1: Damn it. We can't stop scandal pacing? What is wrong
Speaker 1: with us? Every job I did after Scandal, they were like,
Speaker 1: can you please just take your time, like slow it down?
Speaker 1: We are ruined as actors. Thank you so much, Sean Rhimes,
Speaker 1: But like, yes, first of all, we must know, Garmo,
Speaker 1: that was really fucking fast. And I always won the
Speaker 1: award as the fastest scandal pace speaker on the cast,
Speaker 1: and you just gave me a run for my money.
Speaker 1: That was pretty fast. Huh. It was really fast. And
Speaker 1: also we have to give such applaud to Hawk because
Speaker 1: not only did you master scandal pace, but you would
Speaker 1: normally have to speak at scandal pace whilst saying absolute
Speaker 1: hacking jargon like QR facial recognition software. Yes, stuff, I
Speaker 1: had no idea what it meant or what it was.
Speaker 1: I you know, Houck is is this type savvy like
Speaker 1: character obviously everyone knows but me. Garmo Diaz is like, um,
Speaker 1: where do I go on my phone to turn on
Speaker 1: the light? Like I'm worse? I think even for this podcast.
Speaker 1: Someone sent you a link for us to like open
Speaker 1: up our first meeting on this podcast, and you're all
Speaker 1: texting me like can you like text me that link.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can get it on my
Speaker 1: computer or my phone. And I'm like, Guillermo, I sure did,
Speaker 1: I sure did. I was like, Katie, thank you so much.
Speaker 1: All right, So that's what happened in the episode. But
Speaker 1: like sitting down and rewatching episode two gave me such
Speaker 1: fucking vibes because it's just so classic early Scandal. It's
Speaker 1: a case of the week. The case is Sharon Marquette,
Speaker 1: who's played by Mimi Kennedy, and she's like, I'm d
Speaker 1: c's finest madam, is what she says. She's based sly
Speaker 1: running a whorehouse for like all these politicians where they
Speaker 1: get their fancy as hookers. And it's the first episode,
Speaker 1: you know, once we got picked up. Wait, by the way,
Speaker 1: how long was this between shooting the pilot and when
Speaker 1: did we start this? Do you remember? I was going
Speaker 1: to ask you that because one of the one of
Speaker 1: the things that like stuck out for me in this
Speaker 1: episode was Carrie's wig. I was like, oh, we got
Speaker 1: some money. Now. They're like, okay, we want to order
Speaker 1: like seven episodes or six because we had done the pilot.
Speaker 1: But I was like that, wiy got spruced up. It
Speaker 1: looked like she went through the Emerald City makeover that
Speaker 1: Judy Garland goes through, and all of a sudden, she
Speaker 1: got this like fancy, like curly like up Like you know,
Speaker 1: everyone is listening. When you shoot a pilot, it's like
Speaker 1: they don't give you. I mean, they give you money,
Speaker 1: but it's not like if it's series and it goes
Speaker 1: to series, they're gonna like commit a little bit more. So,
Speaker 1: yeah's wig and when she comes on this show, we
Speaker 1: have to have like a whole conversation about wigs because
Speaker 1: I know she made a lot of character choice is
Speaker 1: based on whether her hair was curly or straight. But
Speaker 1: I think that we see a major upgrade in this episode. Yes,
Speaker 1: in the first couple of minutes of this episode, we're
Speaker 1: already listening to Stevie Wonder. It's already like don't down't down, down, down,
Speaker 1: let down. And you and Abby are in the Madam's apartment,
Speaker 1: you know, Steven played by Henry and Cusick is out
Speaker 1: on the street on the phone with Olivia, and David
Speaker 1: Rosen drives by and we're on a ticking time clock
Speaker 1: where like, you guys gotta totally take over whatever is
Speaker 1: in her apartment before the cops get there. Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: and it just seems so cool. Record scratch to Quinn
Speaker 1: standing waiting for the elevator to come up like a
Speaker 1: freaking loser. She's like, what the hell is going on? Well,
Speaker 1: Quinn is also the audience, right, Quinn is the one
Speaker 1: that's like, Okay, what's what's going down here? Like, film
Speaker 1: me in, and no one's like really filling her in,
Speaker 1: and they're just like you gotta learn, like you gotta
Speaker 1: just watch and learn. In this episode, Olivia is pissed
Speaker 1: because she has found out that her dude, her love
Speaker 1: of her life, Fitzgerald Grant the Third, is fucking Amanda Tanner.
Speaker 1: And now she's pissed, and now Amanda try to kill
Speaker 1: herself and now here we are where she's like, oh,
Speaker 1: Amanda Tanner, I'm going to get this bitch to be
Speaker 1: my client. Okay. A couple other things about this episode
Speaker 1: that need to be mentioned that are in uh some
Speaker 1: notes G and I take notes people. G takes them
Speaker 1: on paper. I take them on the notes. In section
Speaker 1: of my Phone. He played a hacker and he can't
Speaker 1: do anything technologically savvy, okay. David Rosen calls Olivia by
Speaker 1: her whole name, Olivia Caroline Pope. Do you remember where
Speaker 1: Caroline came from? Okay? I texted Carrie yesterday and I said,
Speaker 1: do you remember where Caroline comes from? And she's like
Speaker 1: not no. But I remember being on it and everyone
Speaker 1: being like, oh my gosh, like it's so lovely that
Speaker 1: her middle name is Caroline, because that's I want to
Speaker 1: say Shonda's middle name, but I could be do you
Speaker 1: not remember this at all? I don't remember this at all. Wait,
Speaker 1: I'm texting I'm going to text you right now and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask her. I really feel like it was
Speaker 1: a special nod to something. This is also I remember
Speaker 1: in this in that scene where he says her middle
Speaker 1: name is the first time he goes to sort of
Speaker 1: poker and Huck steps up and he's I do not
Speaker 1: touch her. And it's the first time you see Huck
Speaker 1: be sort of like um, You're like, oh, that's like
Speaker 1: Olivia's like protective, like pit bull, like he's like her protector.
Speaker 1: And I love that moment because he was like, I
Speaker 1: will snap your neck. Mother. It was really that's when
Speaker 1: you realize that, like, these aren't just lawyers. Quinn walks
Speaker 1: in an episode one and says, so you're all lawyers,
Speaker 1: and you're like, no, lawyers are for losers, like we're fixers,
Speaker 1: were crisis managers. It's a whole package of different kinds
Speaker 1: of people. And I always thought in episode two when
Speaker 1: David Rosen goes to touch Olivia and you're like, do
Speaker 1: not touch her, You're like, holy shit, these people are. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're like a whole mixed bag of crazy. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: have scary baggage. This is also the episode where we
Speaker 1: meet Morris, Yes, who we've got to have on this podcast.
Speaker 1: I love him so much. Morris is the White House
Speaker 1: security guard at the security gate that checks people in,
Speaker 1: and he's so lovely and so wonderful and again, such
Speaker 1: a secret sauce to this show because our guest stars
Speaker 1: are co stars, are people with one line are just
Speaker 1: fucking killing it. We meet Morris, and then right with Morris,
Speaker 1: Olivia Pope is not getting checked into the White House
Speaker 1: right like, they're not letting her in in this episode
Speaker 1: I can't remember why do you remember? Why that Cyrus
Speaker 1: thinks that Olivia is not on the President's side anymore,
Speaker 1: so he's like he revokes her her past to the
Speaker 1: White House. That's right. And so then we meet Billy
Speaker 1: Chambers who's in line right behind Olivia, and he's like, oh,
Speaker 1: hold on, let me just call the front gate and
Speaker 1: let you in, and she's like, thanks so much. Billy.
Speaker 1: Did Billy know at that time that he was going
Speaker 1: to be the Billy Chambers He couldn't have, right, No,
Speaker 1: none of us, well, none of us knew, right, like
Speaker 1: all the crazy stuff that we do on the show,
Speaker 1: none of us knew to like the table read. In
Speaker 1: this episode where we're dealing with the Madam. Abby's all
Speaker 1: pissed because Steven. She finds out Steven's sleeping or has
Speaker 1: slept with hors and paid prostitutes in the Madam's book. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as one of her clients exactly. And when you guys
Speaker 1: have those scenes where you're going through I don't think
Speaker 1: Huck is there, but it's Harrison Wright and it's Steven
Speaker 1: and they're talking about what sunny day is, what hard
Speaker 1: works are, like speaking Greek and then um the world
Speaker 1: around the world. So like for those of you, I
Speaker 1: was laughing, and Abby Darby does such an amazing job
Speaker 1: of being uncomfortable and asking like, well, what's hardwood floors,
Speaker 1: like in her snarky ass way, and who what's the answer.
Speaker 1: The answer is so brilliant. It's it's when there's nothing
Speaker 1: to match, the carpets don't match the drapes or something
Speaker 1: like that, it just means that she's bald, right well, yeah,
Speaker 1: like she's yeah, she got that Brazilian wax. She's but
Speaker 1: like full full throttle, full full full. That's terrifying. Okay.
Speaker 1: Then she's like, okay, fine, sunny day and they're like,
Speaker 1: you don't have to wear a raincoat? Yeah, which is guys,
Speaker 1: I'm so lame. I'm sitting on my bed. I'm like
Speaker 1: hysterical laughing. Can you imagine being a writer in the
Speaker 1: writer's room coming up with this bullshit? I do not.
Speaker 1: This is what I love about Scandal, especially these this
Speaker 1: early these early scitles. Of why it gives me like
Speaker 1: just such it makes me giddy is that the show
Speaker 1: is fucking funny. And then I also love in this episode,
Speaker 1: um that Olivia Pope says all cylinders people, let's go yes?
Speaker 1: Is that the first time we hear her say that?
Speaker 1: I think it might be. By the way, listeners, we're
Speaker 1: dealing with only forty two minutes of television. This is
Speaker 1: the second round of forty two minutes, and we're already
Speaker 1: giving you such hashtags, such T shirts, such sayings, I
Speaker 1: mean all cylinders people, let's go who says that? And
Speaker 1: also speaking of T shirts, Katie and I are wearing
Speaker 1: I think this was our first like merch that we
Speaker 1: got gifted from Shonda and the producers. Right, it's like
Speaker 1: a long sleeve black, really nice shirt that says scandal
Speaker 1: on the front where like your you know, your chest
Speaker 1: pocket would be where your booby and then on the
Speaker 1: back it says do you want to be a gladiator
Speaker 1: in a suit? Right? Or does it say I can't
Speaker 1: stand up? Do you turn around? All week? It says, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: do you want to be a gladiator in a suit?
Speaker 1: Which is so awesome. So this shirt, bravo to GEARMONI
Speaker 1: because this shirt is ten years old or some and
Speaker 1: we are wearing it. Yes, yes, well, And I was
Speaker 1: telling Katie I cannot dry this shirt because if I
Speaker 1: dry it, it's gonna be like you know, it's it's
Speaker 1: not going to go over my belly. Garo and I.
Speaker 1: Over the course of this podcast, we have a lot
Speaker 1: of vintage pieces that will be coming out. They might
Speaker 1: be clothing, they might be gifts, they might be shipped
Speaker 1: we stole from the Scandal set. They might be clothing
Speaker 1: I stole from the Scandal set. But this shirt is
Speaker 1: so special and I would never wear it in public
Speaker 1: because it is way too fucking tight. Totally totally. You
Speaker 1: know what's funny. I wore I had to go to
Speaker 1: the grocery store to get detergent, and I have the
Speaker 1: shirt on and I was in an aisle looking for
Speaker 1: you know, looking for it, which one I was going
Speaker 1: to pick, and a guy was like kept staring at me,
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh crap, and he was like,
Speaker 1: I loved you on Scandal and I was like, oh god,
Speaker 1: I'm wearing this Scandle shirt. I was like, how how cheesy? No, no,
Speaker 1: it's sweet. And everyone listening, so you know, I get recognized,
Speaker 1: but I really look like everyone else, Like I really
Speaker 1: think I'm like a pretty average age in size and height,
Speaker 1: in in brown hair, brown eyes, Like you got to
Speaker 1: really know, I can I don't Garmo fucking Diaz. Cannot
Speaker 1: go anywhere like anywhere, I mean, traveling around with you.
Speaker 1: I don't know how Mikey does it. I don't know
Speaker 1: because you stick out like a sore thumb, like you're
Speaker 1: just so special. You don't look like anyone else. You
Speaker 1: have a vibe about you, You have a look. And
Speaker 1: the greatest treat about that is that a lot of
Speaker 1: times when Gammo gets recognized for Scandal, he also gets
Speaker 1: recognized for Half Baked, and people are just passing you weed.
Speaker 1: People want to get me hot everywhere I go up.
Speaker 1: We were in Israel and people were like, you want
Speaker 1: to get high? Everywhere you got people want to get
Speaker 1: you high. We were at the White House correspondent dinner.
Speaker 1: What everyone's trying to get you high? Like everyone just
Speaker 1: wants to say to their group of friends, I got
Speaker 1: stoned with Gammo Diaz from Half Baked, or I got
Speaker 1: stoned with Hawk or like whatever, You're just cool. You know.
Speaker 1: Very early in my career, Katie, I learned that you
Speaker 1: have to be kind to your fans. So I can't
Speaker 1: say no, you know, so I'm I just you know,
Speaker 1: I have to kindly access I will give you that memory.
Speaker 1: I will give you that memory. Please, it's not it's
Speaker 1: it's okay, it's not too much off my back. Um,
Speaker 1: what else did you love about this episode. One of
Speaker 1: the things that I loved about about this episode, Katie
Speaker 1: that's stuck out also was the sets. It's the first
Speaker 1: I mean, you you see the sets of course in
Speaker 1: the pilot, but this was the first time that you
Speaker 1: see the recreated actual set where we shot the pilot
Speaker 1: and an actual location in downtown at l A in
Speaker 1: this in this old old building where those panels that
Speaker 1: those window panels that we have on our show, those cracked,
Speaker 1: flawed window panels were all real and are amazing. You know,
Speaker 1: Scandal team that works on the sets at the stages
Speaker 1: where we shot the show recreated that place like perfectly
Speaker 1: and it looks so freaking good in this episode. That
Speaker 1: is such a great point And what blessing did they
Speaker 1: give us because the real one downtown, the real o
Speaker 1: p A, the hallway was actually insanely long, and when
Speaker 1: they recreated it on the stages, it was like still long,
Speaker 1: but half the length. Because Quinn is constantly walking up
Speaker 1: and down the hallway getting people coffee. Like I don't
Speaker 1: think you had to deal with this, And I hate
Speaker 1: wearing high heels and my feet are an issue at
Speaker 1: all times. And those pencil skirts that kept like twisting
Speaker 1: am I spanks. Every time I took a step, my
Speaker 1: pencil skirt would just like rotate. I spent eighty hours
Speaker 1: a week complaining about my feet, which Carrie Washington never did.
Speaker 1: And she's wearing like literally six inch every single high
Speaker 1: end fashionable shoe. And I think I was in Jessica
Speaker 1: Simpson like low price shoe because I you know, when
Speaker 1: we did fittings, I would say like Quinn doesn't have
Speaker 1: what Olivia Pope has, like I shouldn't be in product
Speaker 1: and all this ship. But anyway, they made the hallway
Speaker 1: half the length when they recreated it, and I remember
Speaker 1: being like, oh, thank you God, because this will just
Speaker 1: log me like less steps where my feet and my
Speaker 1: pencil skirt are just just ridiculous, like my feet were
Speaker 1: hurting so badly. Do you also remember, Katie, the window
Speaker 1: panels that I mentioned a little bit ago. We would
Speaker 1: where we would have to put up people's photos. I
Speaker 1: think you know this, Katie, but I when we wrapped
Speaker 1: the series, I asked Mary Howard, who was one of
Speaker 1: our producers. I asked her, Hey, is there any way
Speaker 1: I can get one of those window panels, and they
Speaker 1: sent me. They delivered one to my house, and it's
Speaker 1: with the iron around it. Katie, it weighs like a tongue.
Speaker 1: You didn't know that. No where is it in your house.
Speaker 1: It's in the right at the entrance of the house,
Speaker 1: like on the wall right there. It's like one of
Speaker 1: my favorite things that I have in my house. And
Speaker 1: I was like, thank god I asked for this. I'm
Speaker 1: seethingly jealous. They literally took one of those things and
Speaker 1: delivered it to my house. Guillermo, that makes me like
Speaker 1: sleep better at night knowing that you have one of
Speaker 1: the window panes. Yes, and our o P A conference
Speaker 1: table desk is the main conference room table at Shondalin
Speaker 1: Offices in Hollywood. Wait, I didn't know that, Yep. I
Speaker 1: was there once before. COVID and I walked past the
Speaker 1: big conference room and it's the op a conference table
Speaker 1: that you and I boned on where we would hide
Speaker 1: all our sides on the chairs and then we scooched
Speaker 1: them into the table and we boned on that table.
Speaker 1: We should did. We'll be right back, guys. Okay, Quinn
Speaker 1: has one job. You all are working on the Madam case.
Speaker 1: You're all trying to her not give up her list
Speaker 1: to David Rosen of all the people in DC who
Speaker 1: are sleeping with prostitutes. I simultaneous, I'm doing this b
Speaker 1: story where I'm never supposed to let Amanda Tanner out
Speaker 1: of my sight because we know that Gidey and Wallace,
Speaker 1: who's a reporter from the Sun, has been sniffing around
Speaker 1: and Olivia Pope doesn't want that getting out. So I'm
Speaker 1: just supposed to be watching this girl. And Quinn's like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to watch this girl. And then Olivia
Speaker 1: is like, don't let her out of your site and
Speaker 1: I'm like, right, don't let her out of your site.
Speaker 1: Don't let her an I say, don't let her, say
Speaker 1: don't let her out of my sight. She's gone. How
Speaker 1: the hell did you get out there that quickly? And
Speaker 1: also is that allowed? Don't you have to be discharged?
Speaker 1: And then I go to your office and I say,
Speaker 1: I'm going to barf. How do I find something that's
Speaker 1: gone missing? And You're like, go check her house and
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh house, check her house, and it's already
Speaker 1: you know what's so lovely? Also going back, it's already
Speaker 1: like I can see what the writers were seeing about
Speaker 1: Huck taking Quinn under his wing, like you can already see,
Speaker 1: like I always go to you. Abby is just like
Speaker 1: so meant Quinn. It's insane and great and lovely and
Speaker 1: I love it and like Harrison just doesn't have time
Speaker 1: because he's just like Mr Man about town and you're
Speaker 1: really the only person. Yeah, that's the left that we'll
Speaker 1: talk to her, Katie. Do you remember that we used
Speaker 1: to talk while we were filming the show, like how
Speaker 1: did how did the writers know? And how does Shanda
Speaker 1: know our relationships? Because you and I started to get
Speaker 1: really close and then we'd be like, are there microphones
Speaker 1: like in our trailers? Like and then we'd see it
Speaker 1: in the scripts reflected in the scripts, right, we were
Speaker 1: like always they know they have got to have bugged
Speaker 1: the makeup so onsets. Makeup trailers is where a lot
Speaker 1: of ship talking gets done. And that's mostly because you're
Speaker 1: there at five o'clock in the morning. You know, your
Speaker 1: makeup and hair people are the ones that are closest
Speaker 1: to your face at all times, like when you're on
Speaker 1: your period, when you've had a rough night, when you're
Speaker 1: like so, the makeup trailer just sort of becomes this place,
Speaker 1: and I always like, this ship has got to be
Speaker 1: bugged because we would talk about we would like have
Speaker 1: relationships forming and like trust things happening, and then we
Speaker 1: would see them a hundred percent reflected in scripts down
Speaker 1: the road. Ye. Also, what we would do in the
Speaker 1: trailer I was going to say was we were really
Speaker 1: studious and we were drill lines. Well, we had to write.
Speaker 1: We had to because we had to. We had to
Speaker 1: scandal pace our dialogue, which I don't know if people
Speaker 1: know we should say that it first started because the
Speaker 1: scripts were so long, right, and there were so many
Speaker 1: words that I think it was Shonda that said, you
Speaker 1: guys have to talk fast to get all this stuff out,
Speaker 1: and that's I think where it started. But then we all,
Speaker 1: I think discovered little by little that the faster you
Speaker 1: you speak, I mean, you know, the intention and the
Speaker 1: we're still acting under the fast pace. But every time
Speaker 1: it made that scene better, every single time, even beyond scandal.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm on sets, I'm like, y'all got to speed
Speaker 1: that ship up. And not only did we have to
Speaker 1: have scandal pace, but we had to be word perfect.
Speaker 1: This wasn't a show that you were like, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: throwing an improv like that didn't happen on Scandal, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, Gammadiaz brilliant improv actor from Dave Chappelle's
Speaker 1: show God No, but yeah, I think we had to
Speaker 1: drill lines. Yeah. In fact, when I watched these episodes back,
Speaker 1: the amount of material Carrie Washington had, Oh my god. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Most hour long scripts, I want to say, are like
Speaker 1: fifty to sixty pages. Some of our scripts were eighty
Speaker 1: nine fucking pages. That's really long. Crazy to think that
Speaker 1: would fit in forty two minutes and shoot in nine days.
Speaker 1: We would we would cut up and have fun and
Speaker 1: laugh and do all that stuff on set, but most
Speaker 1: of the time, I feel like we'd be like, let's
Speaker 1: run lines, let's run lines. It was NonStop that we
Speaker 1: were like, yo, let's run that scene, Let's run lines,
Speaker 1: because we just wanted to get it right. We couldn't.
Speaker 1: There was no room for, you know, to mess up.
Speaker 1: And we were like that on each other. I mean,
Speaker 1: I felt like we were all not goody two shoes,
Speaker 1: but we all really believed in the show and wanted
Speaker 1: to do a good job, and so everyone didn't want
Speaker 1: to be the person in the scene to funk it up.
Speaker 1: Because a lot of the o p A scenes are
Speaker 1: like those theater scenes where you're in an ensemble you're
Speaker 1: holding like tossing a volleyball up between all of your lines,
Speaker 1: and if you're the dick that sucks up the take
Speaker 1: because you go up and you forget the line, it
Speaker 1: just made the take not usable for everybody else, And
Speaker 1: like no one wanted to be that person. So it
Speaker 1: was like we were all, can we run? Can we run?
Speaker 1: Coming run? And I don't want to be the one
Speaker 1: that like drops the ball. We have that whole monologue
Speaker 1: where Olivia and I dropped my jaw down to the ground,
Speaker 1: which I feel like it is really a poor acting
Speaker 1: choice on my and Olivia says, slip your number in
Speaker 1: the door. She's going to call you and it is
Speaker 1: your job to get her to be our client. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh ship, And so I put the number down,
Speaker 1: and she does call because Olivia's a genius and she
Speaker 1: knows what's going to happen. And so Amanda Tanner and
Speaker 1: I meet, I think, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial,
Speaker 1: and we get a glimpse into Quinn's past, which is
Speaker 1: Lindsay Dwyer and I say, Quinn says something like I
Speaker 1: was in trouble once. A lot of people wanted to
Speaker 1: I was in trouble. I was alone, and it was awful.
Speaker 1: Now you think we're getting a glimpse into Quinn Perkin's past,
Speaker 1: But at that point the writer's room did not know
Speaker 1: what Quinn's passed was. I always forget that they did
Speaker 1: it right. Nobody knew where that was going to go.
Speaker 1: They didn't know. Oh my god, they didn't know. So
Speaker 1: what I think is interesting is that things were already
Speaker 1: being built. But I also sometimes wonder if I had
Speaker 1: played it differently, Like I played it as truth, like
Speaker 1: Quinn does have this thing, this like secret, But I
Speaker 1: could have played it as like I'm tricking her, like
Speaker 1: I'm making it up right just to get it to
Speaker 1: be a client. Yeah, because Olivia told me too, And
Speaker 1: I always am like, wow, had I been playing that
Speaker 1: with things have been different? Who knows. Hey, speaking of
Speaker 1: the that scene at the Lincoln Memorial, we should talk
Speaker 1: about how that we We shot the show in California,
Speaker 1: in l A at some stages, at stake our stages.
Speaker 1: But the c G I, what is it the green screen?
Speaker 1: What is it considered c G I, the you know,
Speaker 1: the backgrounds. I think so because when you see when
Speaker 1: you see uh, the Lincoln Memorial and other you know,
Speaker 1: historical sites in d C, like that's all green screen.
Speaker 1: And and the team that did that were so freaking
Speaker 1: talented too, because I remember remember people would come up
Speaker 1: to us all the time and be like, you guys,
Speaker 1: shoot the show in d C. People still think that now, yeah,
Speaker 1: and we'd be like, no, it's green screen. They'd be
Speaker 1: like what, because it's good. It's really it was really
Speaker 1: really good, Like they did an amazing job. Yeah. We
Speaker 1: would always be outside in parks all over l A
Speaker 1: and then they would have this like massive green screen
Speaker 1: that they would then superimpose, like you're saying, the gentleman
Speaker 1: is in Memorial, Memorial, whatever the mall, and we would
Speaker 1: be dressed in coats, sweating balls in California where it
Speaker 1: never gets cold except for today. And Lynn Paulow we're
Speaker 1: going to have her on too. She's an amazing costume designer.
Speaker 1: Lynn Pallo. She I think just set the world. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that was her choice or Shawn's choice
Speaker 1: that it was just forever fall. I think it's like
Speaker 1: forever fall, which means we're always in peak coats a scarf.
Speaker 1: Olivia is obviously like in the most incredible gloves you've
Speaker 1: ever seen in your entire life that go up to
Speaker 1: her elbow. But most a lot of times we would
Speaker 1: be in like a hundred and ten degrees in a
Speaker 1: wool code having to act. I mean, the chief thing
Speaker 1: that was going on in my pencil shirts. I deserve
Speaker 1: all the acting awards people, And I wasn't freaking flannels, remember,
Speaker 1: flannels and then a leather jacket on top of that,
Speaker 1: and boots later on down the road. It used to
Speaker 1: be like a war of like Lynn would be like, well,
Speaker 1: we can't, we need to have different flannels on quinnin
Speaker 1: hot That's right, that's right. We started dressing started dressing
Speaker 1: us very much alike you were in in in freaking
Speaker 1: black leather boots and leather jackets and flannels and yeah
Speaker 1: you love that though, right I can't. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: so sexy. We'll get there. That's how the should I talk? Yes,
Speaker 1: we'll get there. I did too, Okay, how Sharon Marquette
Speaker 1: gets off is Olivia staring at the board, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, that's what we call that glass wall that
Speaker 1: we put up the cases and all the people's pictures.
Speaker 1: We called it like who's at the board. So Olivia
Speaker 1: is staring at the board, at the board, and she
Speaker 1: has this brilliant idea. Let's call all these douchebags. Let's
Speaker 1: call all these dudes to the table and say like, look, guys,
Speaker 1: this is all going to come out in your life
Speaker 1: is screwed. Unless we all pool together our resources, we're
Speaker 1: all trifling. Bill Withers comes on, call me Mr Pitiful.
Speaker 1: Best song ever. I love the soundtrack of this entire show,
Speaker 1: especially this episode. And Harrison goes around and he's like,
Speaker 1: hey Wooden Floors, Hey you, hey, sunny Coat whatever. That
Speaker 1: music montage scene is the best. And and Harrison Man
Speaker 1: harr Wison is the dude like, I'm like in love
Speaker 1: with him. He's so love Columbus Short is so freaking
Speaker 1: cool and good and sexy and sexy, and and he's
Speaker 1: flipping his phone and he's walking the walk and he's
Speaker 1: solving the cases and he's out there and they're playing
Speaker 1: fucking awesome music and he's just makes it look effortless,
Speaker 1: so so good, so good love Columbus. So they all
Speaker 1: come in and they get Sharon Marquette off praise b
Speaker 1: We cut two fits wasted in the Oval, and he's
Speaker 1: on the seal and he's in a scene with Cyrus
Speaker 1: and he tells Cyrus like, I love Olivia Pope. We're
Speaker 1: not talking about this tomorrow, but I'm in love with
Speaker 1: Olivia Pope. I mean he's whipped, he got whipped. He's
Speaker 1: so whipped. And at those in those beginning times, like
Speaker 1: especially episode two, this early on in the in the series,
Speaker 1: I just feel like it was such separate shows. Like
Speaker 1: we never went over there. They never came over to us.
Speaker 1: We only saw them at table reads. Yeah there, we remember,
Speaker 1: I mean moving forward, you know, closer to other seasons,
Speaker 1: we'd have our characters have eventually sometimes go to the
Speaker 1: White House. But it was such a big deal for us,
Speaker 1: right we'd be like, oh my god, we're gonna be
Speaker 1: at the White House. I can't believe I'm acting with
Speaker 1: bellamre with with Jeff or Tony. Yeah, because we never
Speaker 1: we never you know, encountered them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It
Speaker 1: was two separate worlds, completely, two separate worlds, and ours
Speaker 1: and ours was better. Oh like anyway, I'm just saying
Speaker 1: yeah and cuter, I think before we were really going
Speaker 1: over there, and maybe even before we really started to
Speaker 1: have storylines intermingle Tony came over and we would he
Speaker 1: directed an episode or two, and he'd always like hate
Speaker 1: love directing O P A. Because he would be like,
Speaker 1: what the fun, Like you guys, you gotta focus, stop singing,
Speaker 1: stop dancing, like Columbus Short is the best dancer ever.
Speaker 1: He liked choreographed. Whitney spears like a world tour she
Speaker 1: had like a million years ago, Like he's an amazing mover,
Speaker 1: and if like it's even you can even see it
Speaker 1: in this episode when he like anytime he solves a case,
Speaker 1: the way he walks, the way he handles his props,
Speaker 1: his phones, it's like fucking cool. And I just think
Speaker 1: when Tony came over, he was in shock at like
Speaker 1: not that we're unprofessional, we're just better, but I remember
Speaker 1: that he was like he felt like he was like
Speaker 1: a substitute teacher who was like you know, and the
Speaker 1: kids were just out of control, like you could not
Speaker 1: get us to stop talking. But you were the best, Katie.
Speaker 1: You were. I remember you. We'd be like talking and
Speaker 1: then they'd be like okay, rolling, but you still be
Speaker 1: talking about and then like close to actually be like, Olivia,
Speaker 1: I need to go to that. You were so good
Speaker 1: at going from like you know what I mean, from
Speaker 1: reality to like, Quinn, you were so good at it.
Speaker 1: I'm so honored you were so so good at it. Okay,
Speaker 1: So we talked about the Lincoln memorial part, and then
Speaker 1: the end of the episode is that Gideon walks in
Speaker 1: and Amanda Tanna is there and she's now become our client,
Speaker 1: and she's like, you don't have a story, and he's like, well,
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure, but now that I've just walked in
Speaker 1: here and aman Tanna is here and you're here, now
Speaker 1: I do what a freaking turd? Right? I was like,
Speaker 1: you're a little turd. Like he's so annoying in this episode.
Speaker 1: I was like a little bitch, like what is wrong?
Speaker 1: Who's this? Is that your best friend? Did she just
Speaker 1: try to kill herself? Oh? Wow? Or whatever? The hell?
Speaker 1: When he walks in and he's saying, Quinn like, oh yeah, yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: you know what's funny. When I first met Gideon, who's
Speaker 1: an amazing actor, he's he's doing this is what he needed.
Speaker 1: He's an amazing actor. And by the way, do you
Speaker 1: know who he's married to Gideon Wallace, who is played
Speaker 1: by Brendan Hines. During the pandemic, married Tatiana mass Lani,
Speaker 1: who played who is the leading Orphan Black. She won
Speaker 1: the Emmy for Orphan Black. Do you know I swear
Speaker 1: that I was going to say the Russian ice skater.
Speaker 1: I'm not even kidding, Oksana Bayou. I was thinking Oksana,
Speaker 1: but I was like, that motherfucker married the Russian skater.
Speaker 1: I'm so dumb. Wait, No, Gideon did not marry Axana
Speaker 1: by that's the stupidest thing. Oh God, I hope this
Speaker 1: podcast comes out and we just start that rumor. Boy,
Speaker 1: I hope she's okay. Well, she's okay, she's okay, but wait,
Speaker 1: he married this lovely woman. He married Tatiana Muslani. No,
Speaker 1: she's like literally one of the greatest actions of our time.
Speaker 1: I know exactly who that is outstanding and they're both Canadian,
Speaker 1: and I think there's like living this phenomenal life. Bless Gideon,
Speaker 1: like I mean, bless Brendon hyd and bless that is
Speaker 1: a rap on, I'm kidding. We will be back with
Speaker 1: more after the break. Benito Unpacking the toolbox. Wait, how
Speaker 1: do you say unpacking the tool box in Spanish. I
Speaker 1: don't know, that's hard. I don't know something like that. Yeah, welcome,
Speaker 1: welcome back, y'all. I remember coming to the Prospect offices
Speaker 1: to read episode two when we had heard we were
Speaker 1: picked up, and Sean is sitting down next to me
Speaker 1: and being like, that's going to be your love interest,
Speaker 1: like right there, Brendan Hines, and I remember being like, huh,
Speaker 1: oh my god. It's not that he's so handsome and
Speaker 1: like a great actor. I just was like not ready
Speaker 1: to like have a love interest. I wasn't like comfortable yet.
Speaker 1: I felt like, oh god, fuck, that's what Quinn's gonna
Speaker 1: be doing. Oh no, I think your first one of
Speaker 1: your first thoughts, which was for all of us, because
Speaker 1: when I first found out that Huck was going to
Speaker 1: have a love interest, was like, am I going to
Speaker 1: have have my shirt off? Do I have to stop eating?
Speaker 1: Do I need to work out? What the fuck are
Speaker 1: they gonna have a shirt? Because it's scandals, so you
Speaker 1: knew they were going to end up screwing right show people.
Speaker 1: Fucking was on the table. I mean not cable, not
Speaker 1: cable sex, not cable sex, but yeah, ten PM sex,
Speaker 1: which is more than Grays at nine pm, and we
Speaker 1: had all seen Grays. We knew we were going to
Speaker 1: be pushing the envelope a little more than that. Yes,
Speaker 1: So it wasn't that it was like, oh no, Brendan Hynes.
Speaker 1: It was more like, oh no, wait, shit, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have a love interest. I'm gonna have to have to
Speaker 1: be doing stuff like I didn't have a lot of
Speaker 1: experience with that. But anyway, Gideon Wallace the tur Yes,
Speaker 1: he's Turkish in the episode, and that he just is
Speaker 1: like trying to uncover the case and it might be annoying. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And also a little piece of information about Brendan Hynes
Speaker 1: is that he did Lock and Key with Darby. He's
Speaker 1: in that show with Darby. Yeah. Yeah, Well get on
Speaker 1: board because Brendan Hines and Gideon Wallace are a big
Speaker 1: part of season one. There's a lot going on, and
Speaker 1: we're going to be talking a lot about Brennan Hinz
Speaker 1: and x Bayule and the rest of this season. The
Speaker 1: Scandal Rewatch podcast Unpagging the Toolbox. Fun facts about the episode,
Speaker 1: This is funny. We talked about the Stevie wonder of
Speaker 1: it all and the songs which I feel like are perfect.
Speaker 1: The episode was referenced in Jeopardy That's right, yeah, and
Speaker 1: this I love. There's a small continuity error people. You know,
Speaker 1: some of those Twitter fans are going to be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I know that, My god. The continuity error is Patrick
Speaker 1: Keating is the president's first Supreme Court justice nominee during
Speaker 1: his presidency. But in season two, episode eight, Happy Birthday
Speaker 1: as a President, we learned that as part of the
Speaker 1: Defiance conspiracy deal, Verna Thornton was to receive a seat
Speaker 1: on the Supreme Court, being fits his first Supreme Court
Speaker 1: justice nominee in his term. We need to get someone
Speaker 1: on this show because I think most writer's room have
Speaker 1: not a dramatr but like a researcher, isn't there someone
Speaker 1: in the room whose straight? But at some point that
Speaker 1: stuff has to kind of go out the window and
Speaker 1: there's got to be creative like light what is it
Speaker 1: called creative license or whatever it's called, to just be
Speaker 1: like you know what, like, yeah, that was that. But listen,
Speaker 1: there's five freaking episodes like give us a break. Listen.
Speaker 1: I'm a huge Golden Girls fan, and in some episodes,
Speaker 1: Blanche has you know, one daughter and then the other
Speaker 1: one she's got two daughters and one of them is
Speaker 1: named this, and then the names change and I'm like,
Speaker 1: who cares. It's a great show, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: stuff is continuity. Stuff is all screwed up on that show,
Speaker 1: and I think I'm on great shows. Yeah. For example,
Speaker 1: my first screen test was for Guiding Light, which is
Speaker 1: like one or I don't think it's not anymore, but
Speaker 1: it was like the longest running soap opera, and I
Speaker 1: was coming on to test to just be someone else
Speaker 1: who already existed in that role. Like that's how much
Speaker 1: people don't give a ship. Oh yeah, that's where it started.
Speaker 1: You're right. They were like, you're auditioning to play like
Speaker 1: like Abby, like if I was going in and just
Speaker 1: like you're just replacing Abby. She played the role for
Speaker 1: twenty years and now she wants to retire or we
Speaker 1: can't make ends meet in her contract or whatever, so
Speaker 1: will you just come on and be this person? And
Speaker 1: you're like wait what, like no care? Yeah, but the
Speaker 1: audience somehow accepts it, right, Like they don't make a
Speaker 1: big deal about it, and people just just accepted because
Speaker 1: it's you know, the show is still really great. Guiding
Speaker 1: Like was an amazing show. You know what, I didn't
Speaker 1: get that part. And guess who did Who This amazing
Speaker 1: actress named Mellie Melissa Fumero, who was one of the
Speaker 1: lead girls on Brooklyn nine nine and right now she's
Speaker 1: on that show Blockbuster, and she's a wonderful working actress.
Speaker 1: And we went to nd YU together and at the
Speaker 1: time I was so bummed. I was like, I can't
Speaker 1: believe she's replacing Aubrey or whatever. The character's name was,
Speaker 1: a guying light and she like right out of the gate,
Speaker 1: got like a four year contract on a soap opera
Speaker 1: and like made money. God. I used to tell myself like, oh, whatever,
Speaker 1: you don't want to be pigeonholed into being a soap
Speaker 1: opera actor because then that's all you'll ever be. Well, guys,
Speaker 1: that's not true, because Melissa Favara is doing great. But
Speaker 1: at the time, that's like it means so much writing
Speaker 1: you're like, oh god, this would have meant the world.
Speaker 1: But look at you now, look at you now played
Speaker 1: Quinn on Scandal. Thank you? Oh my god. I just
Speaker 1: heard back from the Queen herself, Shonda Rhymes, and I wrote, again,
Speaker 1: why was Caroline Olivia Pope's middle name no presh doing
Speaker 1: the podcast now three heart emojis, Oh no, and then
Speaker 1: I added, is that your middle name or something? That's
Speaker 1: what I remember. I remember being on set and someone
Speaker 1: saying that this is Shonda's middle name. I am like, literally,
Speaker 1: I'm making ship up that none of that is true.
Speaker 1: She wrote, Nope, it just came out of my head
Speaker 1: one day in writing the show. Wow, you heard it
Speaker 1: here first, folks. Also, just so, just so everyone knows,
Speaker 1: I do not have Shonda Rhyme's phone number. Go on, Katie,
Speaker 1: go on, continue, I'm gonna give it to you. Please don't,
Speaker 1: please don't. I don't want to send her something by
Speaker 1: mistake and be like, oh my god. No. But I'm
Speaker 1: going to bring it to all of you, all of
Speaker 1: you listeners. I am going to bring you the good stuff.
Speaker 1: I will reserve it and not text her anymore unless
Speaker 1: it's unless it's def coon for all cylinders people, let's go,
Speaker 1: but no, out of her brilliant head, Olivia Caroline Pope,
Speaker 1: can we just sing the song we used to sing
Speaker 1: whenever Olivia Pope O p A was handling a case. Pope, Pope,
Speaker 1: Pope it out, uh, that's folks on and byu y'all.
Speaker 1: Brendan Haynes, congratulations, May may your love last forever. But
Speaker 1: before we go, like real quick, we got to read
Speaker 1: some tweets at the time. You all know, all you
Speaker 1: super fans, all you o G gladiators that are listening,
Speaker 1: you know that Twitter was the backbone and party. Every
Speaker 1: single Thursday night, ten pm East Coast time, Mountain time,
Speaker 1: Pacific time, whatever fucking time. Twitter was going off, and
Speaker 1: Gee and I thought it would be really funny if
Speaker 1: we could go back and find any tweets because it's
Speaker 1: such a time capsule. We have three here that I
Speaker 1: they're not that great, but they're gonna get great. They're
Speaker 1: gonna get great. These tweets at the time are okay,
Speaker 1: But I know this, this segment will pay off in
Speaker 1: later episode. This is just the big inning. This is
Speaker 1: when people are just starting to get there, like Twitter,
Speaker 1: feet wet so all the way. In April twelfth of
Speaker 1: two thousand twelve, Miss Cassia, who is at Savon Black,
Speaker 1: quotes I'm a gladiator in a suit. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it was her, but on Twitter and some fan
Speaker 1: on Twitter hashtag the first Gladiator as being like that's
Speaker 1: the name of fans who watched Scandal, which stuck and
Speaker 1: still sticks to this day. Like I have people come
Speaker 1: up and they're like, no, no no, you don't get it,

Speaker 1: Like people would change it for whatever they needed. Bonnie
Speaker 1: Smith at Bond Bond Faboo on April twelve, twelve wrote,

Speaker 1: Bill Clinton scandal as well. And Cyrus has a line
Speaker 1: to the President in this episode Dirty Little Secrets, and

Speaker 1: like that, and I thought I caught that yesterday when
Speaker 1: I was rewatching it. I've watched this episode like twelve times. Um,
Speaker 1: but I was like, oh, that's such a great line.
Speaker 1: These tweets will get crazier and crazier. They have to
